I've written 4 complete songs since my last post, so I've put them together here, in chronological order.
Occupy Me (10-23-2011). Inspired by the Occupy movement that was in full swing at the time. I found myself wondering what it would be like to have all that attention focused on me, so I wrote this song.
The Rest is Just Me (11-06-2011) is a continuation of that same thought process, but with the angle that once all is gone, I'm still here, standing firm.
Sleep Salve (12-28-2011) was basically written to induce sleep or at the very least a lucid state of mind. I fell asleep SO many times working on it, so I know it works! Rich, lush, otherworldly.
Love Is Not a Game (1-26-2012). Inspiration for this one came from the fact that many of my friends were going through a relationship crisis at the same time and in hearing all their stories there was one particular sense I got from them, the feeling of giving up. This song is the medicine for that feeling. Rather than throw up your hands, take the lesson to heart and try again, because love is SO worth it, even though it doesn't feel like it at times.
